Chapter Title: Heavenly Realm
Heavenly Realm
I spent some time at the Azure Dragon Martial Hall discussing with Jin So-cheong ways to counter the Vermilion Bird's Phoenix Perch Swordsmanship. Drawing from his own experience, Jin So-cheong inferred the flow of the Phoenix Perch Swordsmanship and pointed out the seemingly dangerous techniques to me. Then he said,
"Baek Woong. When facing that man, I recommend actively using the Turtle Shell Sword and Heavenly Pivot Sword."
"Why is that?"
"If you control the spacing, it will create a flaw in the perfection of the Phoenix Perch Swordsmanship. It's a favorable matchup."
Something suddenly occurred to me, and I asked,
"During that battle on Mount Tai, perhaps..."
"That's right. I applied the insights from Jang Sam-bong that you passed on to me. You should be able to lead the fight against him to your advantage just like I did."
